Lord, they haue killed thy Prophets, and digged downe thine Altars, and I am left alone, and they seeke my life.

For I speake to you Gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I magnifie mine office:

I know, and am perswaded by the Lord Iesus, that there is nothing vncleane of it selfe: but to him that esteemeth any thing to bee vncleane, to him it is vncleane.

And I my selfe also am perswaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodnesse, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

And I am sure that when I come vnto you, I shall come in the fulnes of the blessing of ye Gospel of Christ.

For your obedience is come abroad vnto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalfe: but yet I would haue you wise vnto that which is good, and simple concerning euill.

Now this I say, that euery one of you saith, I am of Paul, and I of Apollo, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

For while one saieth, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollo, are ye not carnall?

For I know nothing by my selfe, yet am I not hereby iustified: but hee that iudgeth me is the Lord.

Am I not an Apostle? am I not free? haue I not seene Iesus Christ our Lord? Are not you my worke in the Lord?

If I bee not an Apostle vnto others, yet doubtlesse I am to you: for the seale of mine Apostleship are yee in the Lord.

To the weake became I as weake, that I might gaine the weake: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all meanes saue some.

For, if I by grace be a partaker, why am I euill spoken of, for that for which I giue thankes?

Be yee followers of mee, euen as I also am of Christ.

If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body: is it therefore not of the body?

And if the eare shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body: is it therefore not of the body?

Though I speake with the tongues of men & of Angels, and haue not charity, I am become as sounding brasse or a tinkling cymbal.

And though I haue the gift of prophesie, and vnderstand all mysteries and all knowledge: and though I haue all faith, so that I could remooue mountaines, and haue no charitie, I am nothing.

For now we see through a glasse, darkely: but then face to face: now I know in part, but then shall I know euen as also I am knowen.

For I am the least of the Apostles, that am not meet to be called an Apostle because I persecuted ye Church of God.
